Re: paper: Cyber Blue 234 Drive System Test - Performance and Power

i agree with Allen's math -

The total reduction is 7.95:1, counting the gearbox and the belt pulleys.

Theoretical = 11.63 FPS
4 CIM = 10.76 = 93%
6 CIM = 11.06 = 97%

To be more accurate, we would need the true free speeds of the CIMs and the actual diameter of the "4 inch" wheels with tread, but these are close.
